India, Jan 22 (BVI) The A2 Culture Ghee of Two Brothers Organic Farms company has been accorded certification as Glyphosate Residue-free by an independent organisation with expertise in the field, the company has said.
In the wake of this development, Two Brothers Organic Farms has announced the expansion of the same certification across additional everyday staples – Khapli Atta, Amlaprash, and Jaggery.
The certifications have been awarded by Detox Project, a third-party organisation that independently verifies food products for the absence of detectable glyphosate residues through stringent laboratory testing of the final consumable product, Two Brothers Organic Farms said in a statement.
Glyphosate exposure remains a largely invisible concern in India’s food system.
While legally-approved only for limited use, the herbicide is widely applied across food crops through off-label and unregulated channels, the company said.
Residues persist not just in soil and water, but travel through fodder, grains, sweeteners, and processed foods, many of which are consumed daily by families and children, it added.
The certification process mandates:
• Independent testing of the final consumable product
• Analysis through ISO-accredited laboratories
• Detection limits as low as 0.01 ppm (10 ppb) — among the most stringent globally
The brand has also confirmed that additional products across its portfolio are currently undergoing testing, with certifications to be rolled out in phases.
Speaking on the certification, Satyajit Hange, Co-founder, Two Brothers Organic Farms, said, “When we certified our ghee, it was never meant to be a one-off milestone. Atta, jaggery, and traditional formulations like Amlaprash are consumed far more frequently, often daily, and across age groups. Extending glyphosate-free certification to these products was a natural and necessary next step. If a food is part of everyday nourishment, it deserves verification, not assumptions.”
Ajinkya Hange, Co-founder, Two Brothers Organic Farms, added, “Organic intent is important, but intent alone is no longer enough. As awareness around chemical residues grows globally, food safety must be built on testing, transparency, and disclosure. Our goal is to systematically certify as many products as possible and demonstrate that clean food can and should be proven by science.”
